Hints (no spoilers)
- Yellow: the easiest, most literal group.
- Green: a small twist on the obvious.
- Blue: trickier — think category, not surface meaning.
- Purple: the curveball; expect wordplay or a hidden pattern.
The Answers
| Group | Theme | Words |
|---|---|---|
| 🟡 Yellow | Card games | POKER, EUCHRE, CANASTA, BRIDGE |
| 🟢 Green | London landmarks | EYE, SHARD, GHERKIN, TOWER |
| 🔵 Blue | Dental | MOLAR, ENAMEL, FLOSS, PLAQUE |
| 🟣 Purple | Royal headwear | TIARA, CORONET, DIADEM, CIRCLET |
The purple trap: BRIDGE looks like a London landmark but it's the card game; TOWER fits both yet sits in landmarks.
How the July 19, 2026 board comes apart
The opening move is Card games (🟡 yellow). Read POKER, EUCHRE, CANASTA and BRIDGE side by side and the category “Card games” announces itself. Lock it in before touching anything ambiguous — a solved yellow row shrinks the search space for the three harder groups.
Next comes London landmarks (🟢 green). The connection between EYE, SHARD, GHERKIN and TOWER is still concrete, but you have to name it yourself rather than just spot it. Before committing, confirm all four genuinely fit “London landmarks” — not only the two that jumped out first.
Blue hides Dental (🔵). None of MOLAR, ENAMEL, FLOSS or PLAQUE looks special alone; the giveaway is the pattern they form together. Say the candidate label “Dental” out loud and check each word against it before you submit.
That leaves Royal headwear (🟣 purple): TIARA, CORONET, DIADEM and CIRCLET. As usual the final group leans on wordplay or a hidden pattern, so it is safest solved by elimination — clear the other twelve tiles and take what remains.
Why the purple group misleads: BRIDGE looks like a London landmark but it's the card game; TOWER fits both yet sits in landmarks. Whenever a word seems to fit two groups, park it and finish the group that has four unambiguous members — the leftover placement resolves itself.
